Default Hidden/cool features on 2005-2009 Mustangs...

What are some hidden features of our 2005-2009 Mustangs?

I was intrigued when I got mine a couple weeks ago how the windows would slightly lower raise when the door would open/shut.

Another example, recalibrating the throttle by turning the key in the on position and pressing down to the floor ( total 3 seconds ) then release for 3 seconds.

Any other cool features? Such as looking at extra engine specs on the cluster display, etc.?

In the cup holders, that little rubber piece at the bottom of the rear cup holder pops out and you can hide drugs in there. Er...

on the early '05 models, you can hold unlock on the remote and the windows will roll down.

Put the radio in AM or FM mode. Simultaneously press and hold preset buttons 3 and 6. The speaker does a "walk-around" test of the speakers--RF, LF, LR, RR, subwoofer. While in this mode, press preset button 3. This displays the signal strength of the radio signal--good for comparing one antenna with a different antenna (e.g., the stock antenna with a shorty).

^ Strangely, this one was the one that seemed to tickle my fancy the most. When I first heard about it, I ran into the garage with a flashlight. Not that I wanted to hide anything but just to be able to set my travel mug in deeper so it wouldn't interfere with shifting. I suppose it's the simple things in life...

Another for me, but not so hidden, is the amount of hauling space with both back seats down.

+1, you can turn off the "no seatbelt" ding on the car too, both for driver and passenger.
